My ceiling is 8ft high, Optishot webpage calls for 8.5ft ceiling. Is anyone using it on a 8 ft ceiling, if so does it work or are 8ft ceiling too low?

IF you have a somewhat flat swing it will work. If you have an upright swing like Tom Watson you might have an issue with your driver. Take a couple of clubs and swing very slow to see if you come close to your ceiling. That's what I did.

Not sure. We use it on our house (living room) that has an 8ft. ceiling and its not a problem.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling. I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

I have mine installed about 10" from the ceiling and it looks great! I am sure 8" would work just as well.

Obviously you can't put an 8' pole in a room with a shorter ceiling. Start with the 7' setting and adjust the pole until it is fastened tightly in place. I have a 9' ceiling and just used the tallest setting.

Yes it will, but 8' is the max. I have 9' ceilings and I had to use the option to purchase extensions from the company. Then the provided curtain (which surprisingly wasn't bad looking at all) was too short. No worries though any drapery will work. I love it and you don't need any tools for assembly or installation. The floor to ceiling poles are spring loaded and may depress more after loaded with clothes, so make sure it's tight to the ceiling/floor to start. I have mine over loaded with clothing and it's sturdy. I was a great purchase. It's better than I expected for the price. Hope this helps. Yes it will, but 8' is the max.

NO! it is designed for a down rod. The short down rod supplied will get closeenough to the ceiling. If you're 6'4" you will be just fine with the fan mounted toan eight foot ceiling

The optishot cannot be used outside. I think they require a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet. Lighting is also a factor, a dimly lit room works better. A great system though. We use it all of the time, and really enjoy it

Our ceilings are 8' and we were able to adjust accordingly. Hope this helps.

The ceiling in my main bath is 8 feet & it works fine but is a bit 'shaky'. I wouldn't go higher than that.

This is a large fan, better suited for a high ceiling. I wouldn't use it with an 8 ft ceiling.

The paperwork mine came with said "do not install on ceilings higher than 12 ft (3.7m)". I have it on my 14 ft garage ceiling and it has been working great for me.

My husband is 6 ft and we have 8ft ceilings in our basement. It works for him but is close. Also can make a slight difference on whether lean forward or back.

My ceiling is 83". I am 5'6" and have plenty of head room. So does my husband and he is 5'10". We even tested at 12 incline (the highest) and there's still plenty of head room for both of us.

I have 8-1/2 foot ceilings, and don't use all of the extension the pole has to offer. Have used the duster and fan cleaner with no problem at all. I have not yet used all of the pole's estension.

My ceiling is not very high too, and my husband is 5'3" high and he do not touch it. Emilie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U931PtC1YNA

I have mine installed in a garage with 14 ft ceiling and it works. When fully lowered the pull rope however is probably 5 feet off the floor however. So if you're short that may be a concern.
